Codieverse is a premium terminal identity system for PowerShell and Oh My Posh.
A compact two-line prompt that turns everyday shell work into a clean cockpit: Git, GitHub, Spotify, Node.js, execution time, and workspace context—without visual noise.

---

Executive Summary

Codieverse is not just a color theme. It is a prompt information architecture for developers who live in the terminal and want situational awareness at a glance.

Design Principle	What it means in the prompt
High signal, low friction	Show only useful runtime context: branch, repo, remote, directory, package runtime, command duration.
Capsule hierarchy	Each segment has a visual role so your eye can scan the prompt without manually parsing every word.
Two-line calm	Dense context stays on line one; command input stays clean on line two.
Theme portability	Five palettes share the same segment architecture, so the experience stays consistent across machines.
Safe customization	Colors, segment visibility, and profile wiring are editable without rewriting the whole prompt.

╰─❯

The prompt is intentionally compact: identity, project state, remote context, runtime signal, and command entry each have their own visual lane.

Install

Remote script execution is convenient, but inspect-first is the professional default. Use the first command when you trust the repository; use the second flow when setting up a stricter machine.

Fast Path

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drferdii/OhMy-Posh/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Inspect First

$Installer = "$env:TEMP\codieverse-install.ps1"
iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drferdii/OhMy-Posh/main/scripts/install.ps1 -OutFile $Installer
notepad $Installer
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $Installer

Manual Install

git clone https://github.com/drferdii/OhMy-Posh.git
cd OhMy-Posh

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force "$HOME\Documents\OhMyPosh\themes" | Out-Null
Copy-Item .\themes\*.omp.json "$HOME\Documents\OhMyPosh\themes" -Force
Copy-Item .\profiles\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 "$PROFILE" -Force

Themes

#	Theme	File	Best for
1	Classic 2-Line	themes/codieverse-2line.omp.json	Daily development, balanced contrast.
2	Retrowave	themes/codieverse-retrowave.omp.json	High-energy sessions and visual demos.
3	Neon Cyberpunk	themes/codieverse-neon.omp.json	Dark terminals, hacker-style high contrast.

Repository Architecture

The repository is organized as a terminal identity system: theme definitions own the visual language, PowerShell profiles wire the prompt into the shell, scripts handle installation, visual assets document the experience, and the README acts as the public product surface.

Layer	Path	Responsibility
Theme Engine	themes/*.omp.json	Five Oh My Posh theme variants with shared segment logic.
Shell Profiles	profiles/*.ps1	PowerShell 7 startup and Windows PowerShell 5 redirect profile.
Installer Flow	scripts/install.ps1	Interactive setup, theme picker, and machine bootstrap flow.
Visual System	*.svg / *.png	Terminal banner and architecture mindmap for GitHub rendering.
Documentation Surface	README.md	Product-level narrative, install flow, customization, security, and troubleshooting.

Customize

Change the active theme

Edit your PowerShell profile:

notepad $PROFILE

Then update the config path:

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "$HOME\Documents\OhMyPosh\themes\codieverse-2line.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

Change a capsule color

Open the active .omp.json file and edit the segment color:

{
  "type": "session",
  "foreground": "#F0F6FC",
  "background": "#002147"
}

Remove Spotify

Delete or disable the spotify segment in the active theme file. The rest of the prompt will continue to work normally.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Likely Cause	Fix
Icons render as boxes	Terminal font is not a Nerd Font	Install Meslo or another Nerd Font, then select it in Windows Terminal.
Spotify segment missing	Spotify is closed or paused	Open Spotify Desktop and play a track.
Git segment missing	Current folder is not a Git repository	Run git init or move into an existing repo.
GitHub remote missing	Repo has no origin remote	Run git remote add origin <url>.
Colors look flat	Terminal color scheme mismatch	Use a dark Windows Terminal scheme with truecolor support.
Theme does not load	Wrong config path in $PROFILE	Reopen $PROFILE and verify the .omp.json path.

---

Security Notes

The one-liner installer is optimized for speed, but the inspect-first path is recommended for enterprise or production machines. Review scripts/install.ps1 before execution, especially when installing on a device that contains credentials, SSH keys, cloud tokens, or patient/company data.

Contributing

High-quality contributions are welcome. Good pull requests should include:

1. A focused change with a clear reason.
2. Screenshots or terminal output when changing visuals.
3. Tested PowerShell behavior on a clean session.
4. Updated documentation when install steps, segment names, or theme files change.
